[quote=Anonymous]Hello parents!

I’m a nanny who has been with the same family for 16 years. I’m currently 47 years old but appear/act much younger. No current health issues. I often hear families talking about wanting a young nanny, and want to know how I can get around this in my job search?

The children in my care are currently 19 (off to college), 17, 15, and 13. Wwlhile the children are at school, I work for families with newborns and toddlers, to keep my experience current. Im looking for my next forever family and I’m concerned parents with younger kids won’t want an older nanny who has been with older children. What can I do to make myself stand out? You would think that my long term experience with once family would be a plus, but families want tons of references and young kids, and I just don’t have that. I have 3 recent references (current family, plus morning young kids jobs).

What would you like to see on an applicants CV? Is there anything I can do to make myself more marketable? I currently earn $35/hr for my current job and any side jobs my rate is the same.

Thank you! [/quote]
